Anyway more than a dozen racers braved the low 30s temperature to compete in Charlie Lockwood's second Perche Creek Gutbuster - a 10 mile canoe/kayak race. The racers faced wind, snow/sleet, and words of encouragement such as "HURRY UP, WE'RE COLD!", from friends and family. Despite the weather, Charlie considered his race a great success. Everybody seemed in good spirits and, as always, had a great time paddling.
I'll be editing this entire character profile of Charlie Lockwood tomorrow and should have a complete story to present soon thereafter. I had a blast spending time with Charlie and his family and can only hope my photos convey to you what a good man he is. Also, if you're a canoer, you may want to check out Charlie's custom paddles on his website - Thetis Paddles.
